The Dyson DC22 canister was very recently introduced in Japan. I have heard that this will make it to the US market in order to expand their canister range.

Key Features:

-Root Cyclone with Core Separation
-Dyson Digital Motor
-Stowaway Design
-Motorhead

Got an honest question for you....the dyson canister is a neat looking vac...with dysons best  technology and a hefty price that follows. What is /are the reasons for choosing

this dyson over a bagless windtunnel canister at hundreds and hundreds ......less. ...same quality , power ,durability........same/better  results on all surfaces. so what does

 dyson give for the additional cost ...the primium price.? as if a customer was asking...

As ive said before DIB...i see this as dysons best hope and product so far.....but only at a far lower price...i actually like the dyson cans....but once youve opened them  up

looked thru ..tested...your left wondering whats the extra $hundreds$  going towards. Now with all the bagless vac/cans youve worked on..what is supierior in dyson tech

 over the rest...if performance tests are the same if not better in favor of the compition...what are you seeing that the other people who service vacs  arent.

Highjack alert........

Its the neverclogs cyclones= NOT

Its the hose mounted on the wrong side of the tank=True

Its the plastic milk container quality of the attachments= it must be at least 25,00 dollars worth with the hose,

The 800 helpline must be worth 3 or4 hundred

Factor in all the research and tea and crumpet breaks, thats gotta be at least 1 bean

Now the propaganda for the shills to get out over the net , Dib must make at least 10 bucks a day.

Lets see the colors to chase the barney and friends crowd,now thats the the expensive part.

And dont forget the E-BAY fees............ And oh yea the 20% restocking fee charged by the authorized dyson return centers all 2 of them in the USA.

Any hands on experience yet for the DC22

Yep, been using the motorhead model for a while. It's an interesting machine, however, it is best suited for smaller homes and apartments. It is very compact (no bigger than a bowling bag), but generates an impressive amount of suction. The motorhead is very small, lightweight, and easy to maneuver through tight spaces and under furniture. It also performs well on bathroom rugs without choking up as well. The agitation it produces is best suited for lower pile carpets. The three stage filtration is very efficient to the point where the first two stages separates almost all of the debris, with very little dust entering the third stage. It is recommended that the user cleans the pre-filter once every three months, however, I have gone longer than that, and it is still running fine. They also recommend cleaning the HEPA exhaust filter once every three months, but I really don't see the point considering that the motor produces no carbon emissions. I have yet to clean the post filter. Let me reiterate that this machine is ideal for those in cramped living quarters that would prefer a machine that doesn't take up much space. However, should Dyson ever put the DDM in a full size upright canister or upright, I would go for one of those in a heartbeat since I would prefer a bigger machine with more aggressive agitation.

Nice review... How about a home with mostly hard wood floors?... I can see a larger size model coming soon with the DDM....

I think the DC22 could work for larger households with hard flooring with the 12" bare floor tool included with it. In addition, one could purchase the 12" Flat-Out tool that is good for both carpeting and bare floors. Since were talking about the DC22, I mind as well share the outcome of a performance test where I pitted the little canister against a DC25. Before I began, I expected the DC25 to outperform the DC22 by a large margin, due to it's brush bar that is 2-3 times more aggressive than that used in the DC22's 9" motor head. I should note that the DC22's brush bar rotates at 4200 RPM, where as the brush bar in the DC25 rotates at over 5400 RPM, with more torque, might I add. Anyways, the carpet was clean, for I vacuumed the day prior with the DC25. I went about vacuuming the living room, hallways, and my bedroom. What collected in the clear bin was mostly fine dust, grit, and some loose carpet fiber. Afterwards, I went over the same areas with the DC22...and quite frankly I was surprised with what I saw. The filth on the left is what the DC25 collected. The rubbish on the right came from the DC22. It appears that the DC22 collected just as much filth as the DC25 (though when I looked closely, I noticed a tad more fluff, and grit. But overall, their performance on my carpeting (low profile looped berber) is pretty damn comparable, surprisingly, considering the DC25 has a far more aggressive brush bar. Just thought I'd share..

Ooh nice piano!

What else came with your DC22?

Looks like one of my favorite vacs that I never had a chance to see in person is gone from dyson's US website. Dose that mean its gone for good? I think so.
